It would be best to keep him quietly squeezed into a corner and rendered inactive, just like he is now.
After that, Liu Ming began to peruse the manual again, and finally found a solution to the problem.
That means having someone periodically extend Old Man Hu's lifespan.
As long as the transmission speed is adjusted so that Old Hu's slowly passing lifespan is the same as the input lifespan, his current state can be maintained.
This so-called lifespan of delivery is actually equivalent to borrowing life.
However, the speed at which one borrows a life must be carefully controlled.
For Liu Ming, a ghost who entered the profession halfway through, controlling the speed of borrowing lives was not easy.
In order to more precisely control the speed at which it borrows lives, it can only target Old Man Hu's close relatives.
Because of their similar blood ties, close relatives share a closer and more similar soul and aura.
Whether it's integration or adjustment, it's easier for them than for outsiders.
Moreover, this curse requires the medium to be replenished periodically, and the medium needed is the personal belongings of the person whose life has been borrowed.
If you choose strangers, it won't be easy to get these, let alone replenish them regularly.
Therefore, by targeting Old Hu's descendants, obtaining media coverage is not a major concern.
The only thing that made it hesitate was that it couldn't bear to part with the money of its descendants.
After all, most of Old Hu's current savings come from his descendants.
For it, Old Hu's descendants were nothing more than money bags.
Therefore, Liu Ming was still reluctant to target Old Hu's descendants, fearing that the loss of one person would mean a loss of money.
But compared to the fact that I can continue to live, sacrificing a few coins is something I have no choice but to do.
Fortunately, Old Man Hu has many descendants.
Even if his children die, there are still his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and even if his grandchildren are all gone, there are still his great-grandchildren...
Thinking about it this way, Liu Ming suddenly didn't feel so sorry anymore.
As long as Old Hu is alive, his descendants must support him and continue to give him money.
Afterwards, Liu Ming spent some more time learning the life-borrowing technique and then began his first experiment.
The first time, it targeted Old Hu's eldest son for its life-sustaining mission.
After all, his eldest son is over fifty years old this year, making him the oldest among his children.
Although he looks healthy, at his age, if he were to die, people would only have a few words of regret and wouldn't find it particularly strange.
So, starting more than a year before Hu Laoda passed away, Liu Ming took advantage of Hu Laoda's visit to his hometown to obtain the medium needed for the life-borrowing technique.
A few months later, they obtained media from Boss Hu again.
During this period, Liu Ming refused to move to the city and kept emphasizing that he would be fine living alone in his hometown.
In addition, the Hu family's children all have their own jobs and lives.
Therefore, they can only maintain the frequency of returning to their hometown to visit Old Hu every now and then.
Every time they go home, Liu Ming tries his best to play the role of Old Man Hu.
It's just that its personality and habits are different from Old Man Hu's, so it tries to speak as little as possible whenever Old Man Hu's descendants come back.
When its taciturn nature is noticed and it is questioned by Old Hu's descendants, it will use the excuse that it "misses its mother and wants to be alone."
It has to be said, this is truly a perfect excuse.
Whenever it uttered something similar, the rest of the Hu family members didn't know what to say next. They could only offer a few words of comfort and then leave the space to it.
Using this method, Liu Ming repeatedly avoided the danger of being exposed.
After Hu Laoda passed away, Liu Ming had even more reasons to remain silent.
First his wife passed away, and now his eldest son has died. Isn't his silence and reticence reasonable?
During the year between the curse and the death of Old Hu's eldest son, his lifespan was being transferred into Old Hu's body at a constant rate.
Liu Ming felt perfectly justified and without the slightest guilt, continuing to take control of Old Hu's body.
However, after Old Hu's eldest son passed away, a problem arose that almost prevented Liu Ming from continuing to stay in Old Hu's body.
After Old Hu's eldest son died, he became a ghost. The ghost quickly figured out the cause of his death and realized that Liu Ming was the culprit.
Not only did they use evil magic to kill him, but they also left his father half-dead!
This deep-seated hatred caused Old Hu's eldest son's yin energy to surge, almost transforming him into a vengeful ghost. He then charged towards Liu Ming without regard for anything else, determined to tear Liu Ming to pieces!
Liu Ming had no idea that Old Hu's eldest son would become a ghost and seek revenge after his death, because he hadn't made any preparations at all.
When it was attacked by the ghost of Old Hu's eldest son, it was almost dragged out.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, it remembered some spells it had learned from that secret manual that were specifically designed to target ghosts.
It originally learned those spells only to enslave other ghosts and enjoy the thrill of being superior to them, but unexpectedly, those spells saved its life at this time.
However, it was not proficient in those spells and could only barely delay the attack of Old Man Hu's eldest son's ghost. It was Old Man Hu himself who truly defeated Old Man Hu's eldest son's ghost.
At that time, Liu Ming knew that if he continued to drag things out like this, the final result would be that he would be completely defeated by the other party, and might even be wiped out.
In order to survive, its brain worked at lightning speed, and it finally found a way to leave its opponent powerless and afraid to fight back.
That is to threaten him with Old Man Hu's life.
At that time, it was still inside Old Hu's body and could do a lot for Old Hu's body.
Even though Old Man Hu's eldest son still couldn't swallow his anger and wanted to kill it completely.
Alright then, it will also take Old Man Hu with it to its grave.
Moreover, in this way, Old Hu was indirectly killed by his eldest son.
It's gambling.
The question on Hu's eldest son's mind was whether avenging himself was more important, or whether his father's life was more important.
